We never saw any revenues reported from any of the settled cases regarding product sales, so it is hard to evaluate how they quantified those settlements.
However, ipod sales are well documented and it would appear much easier for DM to quantify the level of EDIG's patent participation with respect to dollar amounts.
I would love to see Fred Falk address the early infringer settlements versus those down the road to better give us an idea and road map as to how far and how fast we move forward.
While it may be up to DM as to the timing of, and infringer selection, management still owes its shareholders a keyhole view as to the direction of this investment.
The next update should be killer.
